-Ecila Pov-
When Zander ask me to accompany him back to his parents house,I hesitate because nowadays he can't stop touching me.It bring a deep desire to me.Not that I didn't likes his touching but I'm afraid that I lose control before the wedding.Never in my life feel this way towards a man.Never thought this issue will make me feel unconfident about myself.I just think that I miss him and love him and that's enough for me to say yes to him.Yes, many man have persuade me,but I still young.I means,he probably had with many women before me.So, I'm afraid that I can't satisfy his needs.Do you know what I mean right?
Yes, sex.I'm virgin,so I know the basics about it when teacher told us about it.How can I compare myself to his previous women?I bet they can satisfy him.
What if Zander didn't like me because I still a virgin and didn't know anything about sex.I need to talk to him about this.I'm afraid he'll mad and divorce me when I can't satisfy him.
Oh god please help me.
I have to find time to talk alone with him about this.
Last night after he have dinner at my house,he walked me back home.With a slowly patch,he talks.
"Ecila,did you notice anything strange about my mother when you accompany her before?"
"I did notice something,she always have a headache when she stand to long or to tired.Your dad always give her some medicine then she'll be find.Did your mother have illness or something serious Zander?"
"I noticed that too.Never knew she have any kind of illness or some sickness that's to serious"
"I want to ask you about it before but never get a chance to told you."
To busy think about you only.My inner self said.
"Never mind,you didn't know that it's something serious. Can you help me my love?"
"Anything for you."
"Take one or two pill that dad always give to her or you can ask her.For me?"
"I don't think your mother will like your idea.Why not you ask her directly?"
"You know my love.For my young ages,my mum always keep secrets if she feel mad, sad or sick.She don't want to tell me or show it.She didn't want me to feel worry.Dad is the only one know everything about her.I want you to ask her because she love you and consider you're her daughter. She'll share everything with you because she always want a daughter to share her little secret."
"I'll try my love.I already consider her is my mother too.I hope she'll tell me.I don't want anything bad happen to her too.I love her like I love my own mother."
"Thank you so much my love."He then hug me.Our little secret conversation is come to the ends when we arrive at my front door.He then kiss me.Slowly and passion.I become jelly because of that kiss,he smile between the kiss.He know my reaction and already hold my body.
"I love you my love."
I'm blushing,but I manage to say
"Love you too my love."He then smile and take a peek kiss at my lips.
I watch him walk towards his parents house.After a few minutes he arrives and he turn his back and look at me.He wave and I wave back.I send a love emojis and good night kiss to him before I go to sleep.
"Good morning granny."
"Good morning honey.Why you wake up so early today?Are today your off day?"
"Granny can we go to Aunty Daisy house today.I have make extra sandwich and already baked some cinnamon rolls too this morning."
"You still have something to discuss with your mother in law?"
"Maybe.Please granny."
"I love to go there too honey.No need to beg me."She smile wider to me.
"Good morning sweetheart.You too Sally."
Aunty Daisy hug and kiss my cheeks.
Uncle Derrick sit at the dining room,but I didn't see Zander.
"He probably take a shower before come down here."
I blushing and smile to Aunty Daisy,she know what in my mind.
"I bought some sandwich and cinnamon rolls."
"Thank you so much honey."
A few minutes passing by,then Zander is arriving.
"Morning mum,dad."He kiss his mother at her cheeks.Then he noticed me and my grandmother.
"Morning my love.You too granny."Then he approaches me,he kiss me infront his parents and my grandmother.
"Oh hun, they're so sweet and cute."
I want to push him but his lips is so addicted.I can't get enough,I have to control myself.
"So how was your day yesterday honey?"
"Madam Rexha is so nice,all her cake flavored is so tasty."
"So what do you choose then?"
"Red velvet cake with cream cheese, Zander like it too."
"Never knew that my son like to eat cake."
"Dad..."
"That was your favourite cake it's?"her grandmother ask.
"Yup, granny. "
"No wonder Ethan likes it."They laugh at me and Zander.
"Mum this cinnamon rolls is so tasty.When do you baked it?"
"I didn't baked it son,Ecila baked it."
"I'm so lucky!"He then take a big bite at the cinnamon rolls while looking at me with wider smile.
After finish breakfast ,Zander and his father go to their backyard.
My grandmother and Aunty Daisy talking about my wedding.I help her to clean our dishes.
After a while,granny have to take a little rest.So, Aunty Daisy help her to take a little nap at their guest room.
"Ecila,can you come with me to my room for a while.I want to talk about something ."
"Sure aunty,just a minute."I dry my hand with kitchen towel and follow Aunty Daisy to her room.
I can see her room is so bright due to white wall and ceiling.Almost everything inside that room is white in colour.I like red and black colour so much but never know that white colour can make a room this beautiful.
"Your room is so beautiful aunty."
"Well, thank you honey."
There you can see her makeup table full with any type of skincare products and beside it a vase that have red roses on it.
"Come here honey, please sit here."She told me to sit beside her at her bed.She holding a small wooden box that have a beautiful carvings on it.
"I want to give you this.Please accept it honey.It belong to my grandmother,she give it to my mother.Then my mother give it to me after I married.Now you'll become my daughter.This belong to you."
"This ring is so beautiful.But are you sure aunty?"That rings is just a simple elegant gold ring but it belongs to their family for a long times so it must be their heritage.
"I'm not worthy for such a valuable ring."
"Honey,I consider you're my daughter not my daughter in law.Please accept it from your mom."
"Mom....you really consider me as your daughter.Mom.."I hug her and kiss her cheek.
"Mom..."I sob softly.
"Oh honey."She rub my back softly.
I still sob but I pull myself from her embrace a little bit and look at her.She cry too.
"Mom..can I ask you something?"
"You can ask anything honey."She hold my hand.
"Are you sick?"
"Honey ,who told you that I'm sick?"
"No one.But I did notice it.When your tired,you constantly massage your neck and forehead.Are sure you didn't have any illness?"
"Honey,if I tell you something.Can you promise me not to tell Ethan about it?"
"But mom.If it's something serious,I have to tell him.I never hide anything from him.Beside he can help you if that matters is serious."
"Please honey.Promise me. After you two married then you can tell him.It just a few more days.Please honey...."
"I don't know mom.But please tell me mom, what is wrong with you?"
"I have a headache illness.It can be deathly if I didn't treat it.Me and your Uncle already discussed it with specialist but they want to operate me.But the chance to heal it just 50%,so your Uncle rejected that idea.Until we go to Bali,there they heal this illness using a traditional methods without any operations.But we have to stay there for a long times."
"Mom... I'm afraid to lose you.I just have you but now."I sob harder. I'm afraid to lose any mother anymore.
Please God don't do this to me.
"Ssh...honey. I'll be alright.Now I have a strong motivation to heal.You and Ethan will give me a lots of grandchild so I have to fight this illness."
"What's going on here darling?"
Zander and his father just come in and Zander sit beside me.He pull me slowly to his chest.
"What're you crying my love?"
I want to tell him the true about his mother but I don't want to make her mother sad.But I just tell him about his mother gift.
"Your mother consider me as her daughter and give me this."
I show him the ring that his mother just give.He slowly wipes my tears from my cheeks.
"So now you know that my mother really love you as her daughter.Now you don't have to crave for mother love anymore"
I nodded slowly and my tears still didn't stop.
His father and his mother just watching him hugging me.I grab her mother hand and say."Mom"
She smiles softly.
"If she is your mom,can I be your dad?"
His father ask me.Now I feel so blessings .My life is so blessed,I have mother, father, grandmother and now my husband to be,Ethan Zander.Thank you God.
